I am currently following a discription of using kpilot from TUXmag issue 1 I 
have one machine amd 64 bit 3400+ but I have the same problem with any sync 
app. If I go into Kinfocenter in KDE or Device manager in Gnome the device 
is listed but I can't get it to sync.  Ubuntu and Kubuntu have become my 2 
favourite distros but I am still tatting with Kubuntu only installled it a 
small while back and it is very different to Gnome based ubuntu.  I think it 
might be down to it being usb not serial but I don't know newish to Linux 
you see.
